:question for KF. I was curious about why you choose to tie

Because I can. I don't really see much advantage to crimping. I suppose there would be less wire waste but then I would have to buy crimping ferrules. Not even sure you could get them small enough.
Have you seen the leaders? The wire is really thin and ties quite easily after a little practice.
Good thought though, might make the leaders a bit neater looking provided you could get tiny enough ferrules.
